-m& ' ''!MiSHRW THE COOS BAY TIMES, MARSHFIELD, OREGON, THURSDAY, APRIL 21, 1910 EVENING EDITION - 4 " rr Pi THE AT ROSEBU People There Jubilant Over Prospect of Railroad Starting Soon. Roseburg is feeling jubilant over the prospects for the early begin ning of construction on tho Coos Bay and Oregon Central Railway, tho flew name of the old Coos Bay, Ore gon and Idaho project. Concerning the status of tho road there, the Roseburg News says: "At the time the survey for the proposed Coos Bay, Oregon & Idaho Railroad was completed to this city about three months ago, F. A. Haines, for many years locating en gineer for the Northwestern rail road system arrived In town, and af ter conferences with local capital ists, secured options on property in Kinney's Addition to the city of Roseburg valued at many thousand dollars. This land is located almost Jn the center of what Is known as North Roseburg, and is over a mile In length. It varies In width, tap ering from 440 feet at the east end to 230 feet at the western termina tion. When the options were secur ed Mr. Haines explained that it would be necessary to have the ad ditional land at tho east end of the tract to allow the construction of a round house and other terminal fac ilities. Like other Interests of the proposed Coos Bay, Oregon & Idaho Railroad Company, the options have T)een transferred to tho new com pany and are now being held by them In trust. This incident, alone, has caused a general good feeling among the residents In this locality, many of whom expect to see actual construction work commenced early in the spring. "Upon the completion of the sur vey to this city the tools, tents and other parnpheralla used, were stored on the proposed terminal site, and are being held awaiting Instructions of F. A. Haines, who In a recent let ter to Al Creason, owner of tho ground, stated that he would arrive here about April 1. All bills contract ed by Haines and his surveyors have been paid promptly, and the general opinion of local capitalists close In touch witli the situation. Is that Haines is backed by tho Northwest ern Railroad, "This theory was strengthened somewhat when It became known -that Haines received many letters from the local postolllce bearing the return of the Northwestern Com pany, and that the surveyors also cashed chocks at a country store near this city bearing the signature of Northwestern olllclals. Tho op tions on terminal ground In this city wero given for a eprlod of about six mouths, and will expire about July 1. "Although somewhat skeptical about talking for publication Al Creason, a prominent local capital ist who owns the ground upon which options wero secured, says that ho is almost sure the proposed line will bo built. His Information Is alleged to hnvo come from a reliable source and to be authentic In every particular." ai nsn nnnnnrnT Misrtiuartbi i; RG; HERE IS GQDDi I "!v i --a-tt-a-K-K-a--a-::--a-a jstiTEor oino.riTvoFToi.EiK.. j,s !, Trunk .1 Client mnkcoiiin mm " - " V ' nnrtniT of tin- firm ol I". .1 t'hi'iir .v. o iIkiihj AlW 0-- In the ' lif nf Toledo, t ;mim ini.I 8 , i',1.,,, f,.r.,.l,l. ntul ril-il.l film ulll P'" thi ol OM.

SHornto licfon- mo unci Milwlln-rt in ni R. A. Graham, Builder of Local Railway, Enthuses Over Coos Bay's Future. R. A. Graham, builder of the Marshfield-Myrtlo Point railway lino arrived here last evening from San Francisco to be present at tho trial of his action against the Southern Pacific Company, John D. Spreckels' Brothers Company et al over the ow nership of tho line. The suits In volvo about $1,000,000, Graham charging the Spreckels Brothers com pany and others with fraud In the sale of the railway over his head to tho Southern Pacliic. The cases will bo tried before Judge Harris at Co qullle next week. This is Mr. Graham's first visit here in years. He came via Rose burg. Ho is looking well and says he is feeling line. He Is being warm ly welcomed by his old friends on the Bay. He declared that Coos Bay and its prospects never looked as good to him as now. He declared that It is on tho verge of realizing the great development he anticipated when he started the local road. Ho said that the only reason why ho was unable to carry out his plans then for building to Roseburg and probably eastward from there was that he was a little ahead of the times. However, he declared that at present ho knew of no place in all his travels or experiences that he would rather tie to than to Coos Bay. Ho declared that it Is bound to be the coming section and all that It needs to bring the great develop ment that has marked tho Puget Sound country is the same thing that developed that region railroads. He intimated that if he was suc cessful in his suit here that he might again resume his railroad building on Coos Bay. This afternoon, ho and J. W. Ben nett made a trip to Klttyvlllo to visit with Eugene O'Connell. Tom MInot, Mr. Graham's lawyer, will be here soon. i .

Grand Jurors Fear They ; Can't Accept Invitation Tommy Smith who with John ller ron is promoting the Neill-Day box jing bout to be pulled off at the skat ling rink here has returned from Co itiulllo where he was called with oth ers by Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Liljonvist to explain whether or not thej wero violating the Oregon law prohibiting prlsso lighting. Smith says that after explaining lo the best of his ability the dllfer encts between a prize light and the boxing exhibitions as conducted In Coos county, he Invited Mr. Lilje qvlst and the members of the grand Jury to be present and view tho sci entlllc exhlbtilou of the manly art. by Al Neill ami Jess Day in Marsh Held. Furthermore, he offered them the courtesies of tho club by otter ing complimentary tickets. Ho said that he explained that by personally viewing the exhibition, the differ ences between a prize tight and sci entific exhibition could be demon strated. However, ho says, Mr. Uljenvist explained that owing to the rush of court business, ho feared that he would be unable to accept the invitation, it is not known whether any members of the grand jury will be able to come. It Is stated that the grand jury alter hearing details of tho boxing charges decided that they wero not In violation of the law and will not make any report on the matter. T. 1 Crawford, known as 'Gum boat Kelly," was haled Into tho Pro secuting Attorney's olllco to explain about the shooting scrape at rJio Cold Tea Saloon hero a few months ago which resulted in Mr. Crawford having to retire as proprietor of the place. Tho man whom Crawford hot at or shot to scare as he says has disappeared and it is understood that the matter will be dropped by the grand Jury. Tho grand jury also refused to take any action relative to the "Re stricted District" in Marshfleld, the majority of tho mombers expressing the belief that tho places are a nec essary evil. F. W. Reeder brought the matter up before them. "Dogs are about the worst nuis ance I know of in the city" remark ed F. A. Sacchl the other day.

Coos been doing somo eltective m County boosting for this section. Crops He wrote a letter from Pendleton to his father and the larger part of it is devoted to this section. The letter Is published In the Jamestown, New York Dally Journal and nearly a column Is giv en over to a copy of the report of the Oregon State Board of Ho ture on II. B. Stewart's str patch at Myrtle Point and which has been published previously in The Times. The story of realizing $1000 per acre on strawberries, potatoes, that yield oOO bushels per acre, oats 123 bushels per acre and barley 145 bushels per acre sounds so big to the easterners that nothing but an olllclal report would convince them. These facts are so well known here that they exclto no comment, but new coiners are sometimes surprised "It was news to me" remarked Rev. Hall, "but I know the people back there will be a bit skeptical." There is plenty of evidence of the truth of the statements which can bo veri fied by several ranchers in the Co qullle Valley who raise these crops every year.
